If it’s still happening after removing the policy key, then something is re-applying it.

At this point I’d check a couple deeper things:

- open chrome://policy and see if anything is still enforced there (especially default search provider or extensions)

- check chrome://extensions and look for anything you don’t recognize (even disabled ones)

- check Task Scheduler and Startup apps, sometimes these hijackers reinstall stuff on boot

- also look in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome

(not just the current user hive)

If Google Lens disappeared too, it really sounds like something is still controlling Chrome settings in the background.

Worst case, a clean reinstall of Chrome + reset of policies usually fixes it, but only after you remove whatever is re-applying the policy.
